That thing where you put on a fresh pair of socks and one has a hole so you think well I went to all that trouble to pull it on, this will be your last day little buddy, I’ll just throw it away after I wear it today.

Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

Last chance underwear happen now and again as well but I guess it depends on where the hole is.

I was chilling in my house with my legs crossed (ankle on knee style) wearing just underwear a couple weeks ago. I happened to look down and noticed that my dingaling was hanging out of a hole in my underwear that I didn't realize was there. Those immediately went into the trash.

And now that’s an image that I can never unsee :(

Yeah, because my wife and I are pieces of shit and put off laundry until I have no other option.

I just check for sock holes as I take them off.

I do that routine of keeping worn out clothes and I'll wear the whole set to get dirty/muddy/damaged/radioactive/whatever. I'll go ahead and get the crap clothes all dirty and sweaty, then just chuck 'em.

Or, I have been known to cut worn out T-shirts into rags, and I've scrubbed the bathtub with worn out socks.

Wait what's the trouble you're experienceing trying to pull a sock?

[-] mysoulishome@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Um…first, finding a matching one. If you’re just out of the shower maybe pulling it on is a pain. Maybe it catches on a sharp toenail. I’m exhausted.

Depends on whether the socks are paired up. If I grab a pair, I feel like I’m committed so this is their last chance (assuming I remember at the end of the day). If a sock was just thrown in the drawer and I still need to search for a pair, it goes immediately
